911: A Mass-Media Bibliography

It’s not just spin, folks. Meet the big-lie propaganda.
Few so-called media critics of today dare to acknowledge that such a phenomenon as a big-lie propaganda even exists. In fact, most abet campaigns like 911, AIDS, and global warming, while dismissing any doubters as “conspiracy theorists.” Meet the pro-active big-lie media campaign in the words of a few practitioners of the 1920’s who wrote about their art with surprising candor:

Public Opinion by Walter Lippman (1922). A journalist writes honestly about the media culture. The art of “engineering consent.” Lippman says, “censorship is necessary in order to conduct a propaganda.” The totality of orchestrated propagandas create a “pseudo-environment.”

The Rape of the Masses by Serge Chakotin (1940). Subtitle: The Psychology of Totalitarian Political Propaganda. The masses have been “psychically raped.” The conditioned reflex. A history of propaganda and its use in pre-WW II totalitarian states, (Rare)

The Mind Managers by Herbert Schiller (1973). The author was at work on media criticism decades before it became fashionable. Here are case studies of The National Geographic and other established brain-washing media.
